"YOU KNOW WHAT?"
Hey, you know what?
I can smell winter coming,
Yeah, even with a head-cold.
This morning when I woke up,
As I was walking to work.
I could really feel it in the air,
Somewhere just hiding behind fairs
Brownish faded trench-coat.

FALL
Slowly seeping info proud trees
Life's silent loneliness prevails on them
To cry their greenish youth away,
As mellow leaves upon a dying earth.

The trees stood courageously, refusing to yield
to the wanton wind, so the wind gave up and
breezed away. It was going to be that kind of
day.
The grass sighed a sufficiently grass-like sigh,
and the few spring flowers available for com-
ment merely straightened up and stretched a
stamen here or a pistil there.
The rocks, of course, didn't sigh in fact, it was
rare indeed when a rock said or did anything of
any consequence. Canton, as he trod through the
trees, thought he heard something like grass
sighing, and he wondered at the sudden scarcity
of that abounding abstraction, the wind.
Moment before, as the rabbit had stood smiling,
and the blades of grass had come to rest, Canton
had noticed the absense of the ruffling wind.
And yet here, in the midst of a seemingly unwin-
dy stretch of forest stood a still-operated wind-
mill, operating without the apparent aid of the
wind.
Canton sat down on a dead log chich convenient-
ly faced the whirling windmill. Actually, the log
was not dead, and in fact was not even a log but
rather the living, sapping, growing trunk of a
decrepitly ancient and gnarled oak tree. Of
course, this old oak was bent beyond hope of
ever straightening up, which explains Canton's
chair chosen position atop it, but does not ex-
plain why it's bent.
Canton leaned back against the curving trunk
and closed his eyes. Shadows fell on his face ac-
companied by an occasional inch-worm, as he
slept. And Canton slept even as the minute scrap
of paper bit his cheek and fell limpidly to the
ground beside him. Next a brass letter-opener
found its animated way to his side, and it was
followed by an aluminum hinge off a garage
door which was followed closely by a half-full
bottle of coke.
The clang caused by the aluminum hinge striking
the brass letter opener awakened Canton, and
immediately his curiosity was aroused. Aroused
neither by the calendar with its undeter-
minable dates not by the mere fact that an un-
related pile of refuse and found its way to his
side, but by the half-full bottle of coke. The im-
mediate question is his still slumbering mind
had to do with the temperature of the caramel
liquid. Canton merely wondered if the coke was
cold enough to drink without ice. It was, so he
drank it.
Then, upon finding relief for his parched throat,
he sought relief for his parched mind. No easy
task. The calendar proved to be no source of
entertainment, Canton realized, because he
already knew the date, but the crumpled note
caught his eye and he grasped for it, only to have
it move off, under the influence of the windmill,
out of his reach. Undaunted, he sprung from his
trunk-seat and landed with his right foot square-
ly planted on the unsuspecting message.
Canton reached down and removed the paper
from beneath his shoe, shook some of the dried
mud from it, and opened it up to read. It said:
"And so I write this to you, Lord Dunsary, un-
suspecting as you are of the assasination plans,
hoping that it will reach you before the assasins
do. God speed, My Lord, and . . ." That was all,
the note ended as abruptly as it had started.
Canton sat down and tried to piece some
semblence of intelligence to the note, but it es-
caped all snatches of sanity, and its meaning
seemed to
That sweet spring smell, nati to energy part of
the country during the pre-summer season,
flooded Canton's nose. And Canton smiled. A
rabbit leaning against one of the few remaining
elm tree smiled back at Canton, wrinkling its
nose in a characteristically herbivorous smile.
Canton, not noticing the grinning rabbit, kept on
walking and breathing. And as he was walking
and breathing his eyes rose from the forested
carpet to the clearing directly before him. (Isn't
there always a clearing?) The clearing contained
a small, operating windmill located in a clearing.
But he should have, because just a wither
further still under Canton's curious gaze. Canton
didn't know of any Lord Dunsary, but the im-
plied murder frightened him. And it was then
that he noticed for the first time, the odd move-
ment of the circling windmill. Odd, Canton
realized, because of the lack of a wind-like fac-
tor to justify and sustain its movement.
The windmill swung its wooden arms contemp-
tuously, and Canton's stared after them in
sudden disbelief. He turned to retrieve the letter
opener, and considering the absurdity of the mo-
ment, did an utterly absurd thing. He reached
out for the letter opener grasping it as one might
a sword, and marched determined towards the
relentlessly rotating windmill.
Upon reaching its door he knocked twice, while
dodging massive windmill blows, but he receiv-
ed no answer. And since he received none, he
pushed his way inside. His eyes, having a little
trouble adjusting to the internal darkness soon
altogether regretted their enlightening process
when they witnessed what lay before them. A
scrap o£ paper, which upon further examination
proved to he a corner of the original Magna
Charta, a mildewed side of the canoe once oc-
cupied by Louis and Joliet a goat, the door frame
of the ark, loose pages of Noah's diary from that
same ark, several empty beer cans, Venus De
Milo's arms, a wrinkled but totally convincing
autographed picture of the Loch Ness Monster.
All of these things were in the windmill, and Can-
ton stared dumbly at each and every object.
At once, without even so much as a whispered
warning, the wind hit, enraged by the letter
opener-armed intruder. Canton was flung to the
ground, and the wind pinned him there while
trying to decide what to do with a mere mortal
that had seen the missing treasure and garbage
of the world, all of which had been collected by
the wind and deposited on the wind's own estate
which included, strangely enough, a windmill.
The wind, its temper ebbing slightly, rid itself of
its humanistic problem by lifting Canton from
the floor of the windmill and setting him flying
off on a collision course with a most unsym-
pathetic shrub.
When Canton awoke, hours later he began to
rise. But upon doing so he discovered yet
another scrap of paper. He grasped it eagerly,
and what he read sent him equally eagerly home
to ponder the mornings events. The note said:
". . . don't try to battle the wind, for no one has
ever succeeded in his attempts. As for the future,
be wary of the wind and travel ever so
cautiously." And it was signed merely, "Lord
Dunsary."

AH! THE SEASONS!
Ah! Winter ends!
The old snow-clouds
All melt away
To the sea-sky!
Ah! Spring begins!
The new green shoots
Break through the skin
Of the brown earth!
Ah! Summer comes!
The cool stream runs

Through dry terrain!
Ah! Fall returns!

Roach Reviews
"Last Tango in Paris"
By TOM ROACH
With all the publicity that this film has had I
doubt i£ anybody will go to see it expecting a
documentary on the dancing situation in
France's capital. More than likely people will go
to see it expecting another professional stag
film, possibly on the order of Deep Throat or
Curious Yellow In either case, the dance freak
and the hard-core pornography fan will be
equally disappointed. Not that there isn't a lot of
sex and a little dancing involved in it, there is,
but because what Last Tango is concerned with is
found mainly in the dialogue and the characters.
It has been said that Brando plays a different
type of roll in this film. I would have to disagree
with that, in a very basic sense this is still the old
Brando. He is just as impulsively irrational as he
was in Street Car and The Wild One, and most
importantly, he still wields that charismatic at-
titude of masculine illusiveness that coupled
with the revealed inner core of a hurt, scared lit-
tle boy, have made his career as an actor. Rather
than a break from the usual , this new role gives
Brando the opportunity to use his talents in a
dramatic tour de force that rivals anything he
has done to this date.
It would be wrong to assume that Brando is what
makes this film a success, though. Certainly
much of its phenomenal box office draw can be
credited to him but the fact that Last Tango is an
interesting and well done artistic achievement in
the field of movie-making can only be attributed
to everyone who had a hand in creating it. With
its flawless presentation of a soul searching
script about a desperate, guilt-ridden man who
hides from reality while at the same time con-
fronting it aggressively, intwined with an im-
pressive concept that takes dialogue, music and
action on an equal basis and fuses them into pure
mood, and its refreshingly straight-forward at-
titude toward sex, Last Tango in Paris is a
powerful new force in film-making that over-
takes Brando's own striking performance to
become a unified landmark in its field.
tastefully hard-core approach, that after all the
trash that the industry has subjected us to, I
didn't think was possible; and that is refreshing.
As for the sex kitten who plays opposite Brando,
I simply can't recall her name. However, I'll
never forget her blue jeans.
What's so refreshing about a sex scene? Only
this. Practically every time one gets inserted
into a movie, one of two things happens; either it
is exploited to the point of being laughable, or it
is handled in such a cautious, artistic fashion
that it becomes equally absurd. Tango makes no
attempt to do anything with sex except us it point
blank to support its plot. The result is a mature,

it was dusk:
cool, shadowed and growing dark,
linda was driving:
the car lazily followed
the lines on the road
through many turns,
continually escaping
to newer sights,
she was tired:
yet awake;
the rest of sleep
was miles away:
at length,
in the distance
she saw a shape:
from its form and attitude
she thought it was an animal,
and as she looked more closely
she noticed there were several,
standing in the grass
along the edge of the field,
it seemed they were cattle:
so freely and gently they grazed
she knew it was a herd of two,
a handsome bull and lovely cow.
but there was something else,
between us and them
there were weeds:
a pesty grass
that grows thick
and makes a mess
of the neatest garden
(even a dreamed one)
when it swamps
the eyes with distortions:
hazy and uncertain,
ugly and deceiving mutations,
this the weeds had done,
for as we drove
up close to them
we could see more clearly
what we had taken for
a pair of happy cattle,
they were both fenceposts:
mere sticks lacking paint,
planted along the ditches
of a country road,
it had only been
the tall weeds around them
that had cruelly warped our vision
from seeing a fenced-in poor farm:
with a yardful of thirsty roots,
a huge, fast and hollow collie,
and a generous share
of other greedy little mouths.

"Butterflies are Free"
One of the most valuable experiences that any of
us can get from college is the non-professional
entertainment that we, as students, offer one
another. Admittedly, these experiences aren't
as numerous or elaborate as they might be at a
four year college with more financial encourage-
ment and a larger enrollment, but perhaps it is
these problems that make what we finally do
produce here that much more valuable because
we overcome them. We have art displays, music
recitals, a literary magazine and less frequent-
ly, but most impressively, the plays and
musicals presented throughout the year by the
J. C. Players.
"Butterflies Are Free", their first production
this year, was a smooth and successful study of
two characters, Don Baker and Jill Tanner. The
plot of this 3-act play revolves around Don's
struggle to free himself from an over-protective
mother and gain his independence as an in-
dividual. Keeping Don from making his break is
the fact that he is blind and lacks self-
confidence. From the blindness to the self
doubts, Tom Reeves plays Don Baker with
professional ease.
points in the play, and their polished, flawless
conveyance can only be attributed to the frard
work of the cast and a fane jots of directing fey
Robert Malta? y.
Juco's veteran actress, Peggy Granieh,
played Mrs. Baker, was surprisingly effective in
the role that was probably the hardest I© Iden-
tify with for a college-age actress playing op-
posite her peers. The relentless sarcasm, at
times, laced the emphasis of a trtsly sceptical
vicious attitude, but Mrs. Baker's domineering
presence was definitely felt, body and soul, both
on the stage and in the audience. The emotion
charged scene where Peggy, as Mrs. Baker, ex-
poses her inner self to Donny and they embrace
rivals every other moment, including the
climatic ending, for pure intensity and impact.
Then there was Ralph. Ralph is one of the
weirdest people I have ever seen. There are only
four characters in "Butterflies Are Free", but
had there been forty, I am sure Ralph would
have stood out. Don't get me wrong, Ralph was
convincingly weird; I must admit that I left the
theatre thinking that if I ever met another direc-
tor of porno-plays he would be just like Ralph.
Don might never have escaped the death grips
of motherhood if he hadn't met Jill, the flighty
girl next door. She is full of hangups herself,
yet capable of seeing into Don's problems and
giving him the advice that he needs. Jill is
played by Cindy Seng, who of the three major
characters, has the least experience and comes
across the most memorable.
Ralph was played by Tom Smith. Your part was
only on for a few minutes, Tom, what can I say?
You certainly didn't have to say anything. You
see, Tom, as Ralph does this unforgettable
shiteatin' grin. If you don't like drama, you
should have come to the play just to see it. Maybe
if you missed it and you run into Tom in the halls
and ask him really nice, he'll do it for you.
My favorite part of the play was probably the
least important. It came when Don and Jill were
alone in the first scene. They were just talking,
but it was so natural that the actors could no
longer be distinguished from their roles. The
play disappeared and it was only the three of us
in the living room (Tom, Cindy and me). I
refrained from involving myself in the conver-
sation, however, because somehow I knew that if
I did, Mrs. Stone would never give me another
front row seat.
The actual highlights of "Butterflies" were
when Jill stood up to Mrs. Baker, when Mrs.
Baker decided she wasn't going to be Donny's
crutch anymore and when Don and Jill, both suf-
focating in their own weaknesses, realize that
they can help one another. Each one of these
scenes calls for a change in the state of mind of
the characters involved, and each one was
successfully conveyed.
These were the hardest and the most crucial
I have always felt fortunate to be able to write
for a small community like JuCo and enjoy the
communication and feedback that writers for
papers with large circulations miss. For someone
like myself and I know for the J. C. Players, this
response is the only payoff. As I look through the
program, I count over £i£ty credits £or people
who contributed their time and energy to mak-
ing "Butterflies" a success. I see only a few that I
know - Tom, Paul, Art, Jackie, Lee and Sue. I
wish I could name everyone, from the improved
seating arrangement to the lighting and makeup.
They all deserve congratulations for an ex-
cellent production.

this year's cross-country team under coach ivan
cooper finished the year with a record o£ 5 wins
and 12 losses, that may not sound too impressive
however, it's nothing short of a miracle that
ju.co. had a team, the year began with only 2
runners with 5 a must for competition in meets,
the year also started without a coach which also
is a must, so in order to shape a team a few minor
difficulties had to be overcome, these dif-
ficulties finally were overcome with six runners
on the team and mathematics teacher ivan
cooper being named coach.
the year overall was sort of a bummer with vic-
tories coming few and far between, a few of the
so-called highlights of the season according to
cooper were "1 was pleased with the improve-
ment of the men over the season." he also ex-
pressed that "he was happy with having 6 steady
men towards the end of the season and that he
would like to compliment all the men who ran for
him."
in the region iv held at elgin community college
joiiet placed 13th with a score of 297. top finisher
for the wolves was bruce reynolds who finished
23rd out of 109 with a time of 22:28 over a four
mile track.

the six men who finished the year for cooper
were bruce reynolds, bill steen, lee mcdonall,
dave larson, steve butler, and John parffrey. of
these six only reynolds and parffey are
sophomores so the prospects are much better for
next year than they were for this.
cross-country programs throughout the state
have been dropped by many junior colleges due
to lack of interest, lack of interest was the case
here at the beginning of the year, but thanks to
athletic director ken parker and cross-country
coach ivan cooper the program here at joiiet
junior college is on the upswing.
gol£ 1973-74 10-5 season bell says ". . all golf men played to their f.uli potential . .
The final club has been swung and this year's
edition of Joliet Junior College's golf team has
drawn to a close. Under Golf Coach Gil Bell the
team finished with a 10 wins 5 loses record, in
dual and quadrangular meets.
Some of the achievements of this year's team
were: a third place finish in the N<fC Conference,
a third place finish in the sectional which
qualified the team for the State Tournament and
a 8th place finish in that tournament. Other
highlights were a 10th place finish in the Danville
Tournament and a 9th in the Joliet.
The individual achievements o£ this year's team
were Fred Elhke 71, 2 under par at Lake County
and Don Jennings 72 at MaySair, in the
Conference Tournament, Fred Elhke placed six-
th with a 76 and Derk Beltzhoover ninth with a
77-
The team as a unit finished the year with J2§
average, with the individual averages being:
Fred Elhke a member of the All Conference team
79-9, Jerry Farber 82, Derk Beltzhoover 82.5, Don
Jennings 82.5, and Steve Anderson 85.1. Aceor*
ding to Gil Bell, Steve Anderson "Was the most
improved golfer on the team over the last half o£
the season."
Prospects for next year are Anderson,
Beltzhoover, Lanigan and Daley. So much can be
looked forward to for the future.
Gil Bell said "he was quite pleased with the team
efforts this year" and went on to say "that all his
golf men played to their potential".

Pastel Eyes
Look at the bricks
Between the cracks
In the wall.
Walk down a glowing sidewalk
And see dull oilstains on it,
Or walk on stains and watch
The glowing walk beneath them.
It's not death, it's the dying —
Looking back, before it's ended.
Walk by a tree
So frail and small
Suddenly to realize
It's just a blade of grass.
Stride over massive walls
On a spider's legs
Then race through vast accordion halls
At the speed of fight.
It's not life, it's the living —
Look! Before it ends.
<p
Whirl into a room,
Look back and see yourself
Come in three more times.
Place a candle in a bottle,
Watch it burst to a volcano
Dripping liquid (ire.
It's not love, it's the loving —
Look into the £ire!
In love with the door,
Not what's behind it.
In love with waiting,
Not the awaited.
Lying, burning, waiting
For the smash that never comes,
Soaking up love like a sponge
That was years in drying.
Pastel Eyes, Cont'd
Nothing new to see,
Only new eyes —
Prisms set with mirrored lenses,
Pastel eyes that see themselves,
Or the tongue that tastes itself
For the first time in its life.

THOSE CRAZY CHESS PLAYERS: WHAT THEY DO AND WHY
In the months preceding and during the World
Chess Championship Match of July 11 through
September 1, 1972, the antics o£ Bobby Fischer
were brought to worldwide attention. The
American public was especially enraged and
hostile toward him because of his threats to quit,
his demands for more money and better playing
conditions, his insistence on less noise, and his
habit of showing up late for the first move. Peo-
ple wonder if all chess players act so strangely
and why they do these weird things.
But chess players are different from other
Americans and seem to hold Robert Fischer in
great respect, believing that the things he does
are not so strange. Chess is a consuming cancer
that eats at one's insides. It drives the player to
strive for perfection. A player's collection of
books, magazines, clocks, boards, and chessmen
is astounding. The number of memorized
openings, traps, combinations, and end-game
solutions is stupendous. And all this work for a
game? Chess is more than a game. It is a study in
human emotion (the opponent's and one's own)
and in human response under pressure. Bobby's
actions were the result of the intense pressures
of master chess.
"Nearly all {great chess players; have had
eccentric personalities — some to the point of
mental illness." Paul Morphy, an American
who became world champion in 1858, suffered
from paranoia. His history of disappointment
and his final success in the conquest of the world
championship reminds one of Robert Fischer.
Each had difficulty in getting the incumbent
champion to play him. After winning the crown,
Morphy's delicate nervous condition worsened
as he became afraid of being poisoned, only
eating food that was prepared in the presence of
his mother or sister. Wilhelm Steinitz (champion
from 1866-1894) was schizophrenic and suffered
from delusions that he could move chess pieces
by electrical stimuli from his fingers and make
telephone calls without wires or receivers. Alex-
ander Alekhine (1927-35, 1937-46) was a
relentless, agressive player and has been called
the sadist of the chess world.' He was a heavy
drinker and was married five times, leading one
to believe that he was a masochist too. He "once
appeared at the Polish border and declared: 'I
am Alekhine, chess champion of the world. I
have a cat named Chess. I do not need a
passport."" After losing games he sometimes
threw his king across the room. Following the
loss of at least one important game he smashed
all the furniture in his hotel room. Robert
Fischer has been accused, among other things, of
being afraid of women." He has a history of walk-
ing out of tournaments. His eruptions and com-
plaints of Russian collaboration helped force the
International Chess Federation (FIDE) to
change the rules of championship play so that a
non-Russian had a chance to play the champion
for the crown.
Lower rated players exhibit all these
characteristics and others as well. They develop
strange antics during their games. A few dress
flamboyantly wearing unusual hats, a necktie
with dungarees, or a suit with just a T-shirt.
Some experienced players use eccentric
openings — for instance, the Baby Orangutan (an
unusual left flank attack) and the Polish (a
"Hog" attack that is horrid for about twenty
moves but is harmless if the opponent survives),
or defenses on the offense like the Pirc (a less
aggressive flank opening), the King's Indian or
Queens's Indian (off-center openings)-— all of
which are laughed at or treated in a most cur-
sory way in chess books. Others smoke constant-
ly, blowing smoke all over the place. Some an-
nounce that their opponents' king is under attack
by a loudly stated "check" followed by a sadistic
laugh. A Chicago suburban housewife describes
her strategy against males as "sitzf leish"; if she
takes long enough between moves, 'her opponent
becomes so annoyed and tired that he finally
slips.'
Between rounds in area chess tournaments
players usually separate into groups. Card play-
ing and eating do not usually become too rowdy,
but others are not so quiet. Among the younger
set football games are organized, basketballs
might be rented from small kids for fifty cents
per quarter hour, and bands might roam the
town looking for signs of female life. At one tour-
nament garbage cans were raided, milk cartons
becoming weapons and large boxes becoming
tanks. A forty-foot long window well became the
"trench" to defend and a violent war game
developed."
The players are so "up" for their games that
they do not stop after the tourney but carry their
feelings inside them for a while. This mixing of
chessboard logic with reality causes some
strange reactions. One player lost his glasses on
1-80 by hanging out the window of a car and
screaming at a semi driver. Another had scars
on his knuckles from punching brick walls and
door frames after tournaments. At a party after
a tournament one player seemed fine, but at one
point he curled up in the middle of the floor and
stared at the wall. He continued this through an
ice cube fight and a tickle fight. Later he seemed
normal again, but he remembers very little of
the party. A fourth player showed signs of
paranoia that developed from being paired
against girls in tournaments. He found that he
could not beat any girl with experience, and the
two beginners that he did beat gave him much
trouble. He developed a fear of girls and thought
something ("The Plot") was after him. He
thought all girls who were nice to him wanted to
get serious, go steady, and get married. The
thought of dating terrified him."
Why do chess players do these strange
things? Although each player has a different per-
sonaiity, when interviewed they all comment on
the same type of reactions. During a game bodies
become soaked with perspiration, and most
players report substantial weight loss. Two
players reported drops from 140-133 pounds and
I8O-170 pounds for a four round tournament. A
chess clock taken in for repairs was described
as abused because of the force used to punch it
after moves, an indication of the pressure of the
moves. Notation, a very simple process of recor-
ding the game, is invariably messed up, no
matter how careful one is in taking it. After a
tournament many players describe their
stomachs as twisted and their nerves as shot. A
pocketful of antacids is essential. A common
symptom is called "jelly brain"; the brain seems
to wiggle and refuse to function. In this state a
person is called "guished" because he feels as if
he has been smashed by an irresistible force.
Signs have been known to change before one's
eyes on the way home, causing dangerous
maneuvers in familiar roads. The chess board
becomes life-sized and one's car, a bishop or
knight with which to capture other cars.
A study undertaken at Temple University
recorded physiological parameters of eleven
players rated 1300-1900. Diastolic blood pressure
was up fifteen to sixty four percent over the
resting state. Systolic blood pressure rose from
a normal 120 millimeters of mercury to peaks
ranging from 140-over 200 millimeters of mer-
cury (the machine's limit). The heart beat had a
momentary increase of between twenty and 120
percent over the resting rate. The breathing rate
went from a normal four breaths per minute to a
peak, for some, of over forty breaths per minute.
The conclusions of the study were that "tourna-
ment chess playing does provide a reasonably
good workout for some parts of the body" and
that "those that tried the hardest {measured by
motivation tests; had the largest changes, in
general." This study "sheds light on elevated
blood pressure experienced by both Mark
Taimanov of the Soviet Union and Bent Larsen of
Denmark during recent matches with our own
Robert Fischer." 4
Grandmaster chess players show many in-
dications of the pressure of chess. In the Can-
didates Matches of 1971-1972 not only Larsen and
Taimanov postponed games, but in the same
series Heubner conceded his unfinished match
with Petrosian, citing "nervous exhaustion". In
turn Petrosian postponed the seventh game with
Fischer for "reasons of health." It was later
hinted that his malady was also high blood
pressure. While referring to the Candidates
Matches of 1965, Boris Spassky describes the ten-
sion he felt when playing Tal as "a tense
struggle." He continues, "There was no outlet for
the tension. And the process of waiting for an
outburst in one direction or another was simply
unbearable." These first two examples resulted
from loses (6-0 and 6-0), Heubner drew six and
then lost, and Spassky's description was of a
series of draws. One can see that both drawing
and losing take their toll on a player's health. In
the World Championship Match of 1972, the
Russians leveled an "electronics" charge on
Robert Fischer on the basis that Spassky "simp-
ly said he had felt abnormal after an hour of
play, without ideas or energy. He credited
Fischer's superior play. ..."
Since close games are the essence of master
chess and draws are prolific (an average of
55% ), the pressure of draws is inescapable.
Furthermore, a loss provides no outlet for the
tension, but even the winner of a tournament has
some draws and usually at least one or two
losses. It follows that all chess players are under
the pressure caused by both draws and losses.
Since less than one fourth of the players actually
win their games, most cannot release this tension
through the board in the next game. The
pressure is bottled up inside of the player till he
becomes insane or releases it in the form of very
strange antics. Possibly the Surgeon General
should consider putting a warning on all chess
sets stating that "this set may be hazardous to
your mental and physical health."

The United States Chess Federation has a
number rating system that attempts to show how
good a player is. In the March 1972 rating list
Robert Fischer is rated 2824. A Senior master is
rated 2400 and above. These ratings are very ac-
curate, and a difference of more than 150 points
is a "no contest". The highest fifteen year old is
rated 2227. A Master is rated 2200 and above. The
top woman is rated 2009. An expert is rated 2000
and above. These ratings are less accurate, es-
pecially since the influx of new players. Class E
is 1199 and below. These are beginners ratings.
The games I've watched in the "D Mall" at JJC
and the games of most of the chess club would be
rated about 1000. The USCF does not want to
stick anyone with an E rating, and anyone can
jump above 1200 with one good tournament.
They show a great reluctance to rate anyone this
low because of the discouragement one feels
(losing the games was bad enough!), and those
below 800 are very bad. A typical fourth grader
might be rated 500.

A chess clock is actually two clocks in one,
>ne for each player. While one is thinking of his
move his clock is running and when he has made
lis move he pushes down a lever which stops his
:lock and starts his opponents. It is a control for
:he game, and the minimum time limit for a USCF
natch is forty moves in an hour. The usual time
limit for games under 1800 is thirty moves in an
tour.

The Secret That You Never Told
It's what made you do,
What made you do, what made you

Whatever that you did.
It's the secret that is never
That you tried so hard to share,
That departed with your soul
It's what you wanted so much to hide.
But you, yourself, could never see.
You spent a lifetime keeping it inside.
It's the secret that,
Was never heard,
Yet maybe understood.

Cagers See Great Season
Due mainly to very talented crop of incoming
students a fantastic season could be in store.
New students such as Pete Catchings, Phil
Clarke, Forrest Harris, Gary Rauch, Bob Herrod
to go with veterans Danny Robinson and Charlie
Jones this school has a state power on its hands.
In the first three games total domination has not
been the case, but rather lady luck has
prevailed. The Joliet Junior College
Thanksgiving Tournament was relocated to
Elgin due to the teachers strike. This did not stop
JuCo however from winning the Joliet at Elgin
tournament. In the first game against Mayfair
turnovers plagued the Wolves but we still
prevailed 88-82. Charlie Jones led Joliet with 19
points. The Championship game held the
following night Tuesday, November 20 against
Elgin Community College finished with us
topping Elgin 80-76 thus winning the tourney
crown. Robert Herrod led Joliet's scoring with 19
points.
The home opener held November 27, is the
type of game that could be called a thriller. The
opposition Lake County lead most of the first
half but Coach Tune switched to a zone defense
the second half and this is what seemed to turn
the tide. With .06 left in the game Lake County
had the ball out at half court. The ball was taken
out and played with too long and a desperation
shot by L.C. did not even draw iron and JuCo won
69-68. High point man for us was Pete Catchings
who finished the night with 20 points.
transfer day(s) sponsored by the

tunities for on-the-spot admission to the

Opening Night tor "Cabaret" Thursday
An amateur production of the hit musical
"Cabaret" is scheduled Cor December 6, 7 and 8
at 8:00 p.m. and for December 9 at 2:00 p.m. in the
theatre at Joliet Junior College.
Members of the JJC Players involved in the
production have extensive drama experience,
during high school, at JJC, and with the Curbside
Theatre and the Tangerine Tent.
Several of the lead roles are played by theatre
majors at the college. These include Mark
Selfridge who plays the American journalist,
Bill Greene who plays Herr Schultz, and Sue
Hatzis who plays Sally Bowles. (Miss Hatzis'
major is music, but future plans include a possi-
ble careers as professional dancer and singer.)
Mark Bostjancic, who observers say plays a
superlative Emcee in the production, is torn
between the desire to teach voice and biology.
Students in the production graduated from vir-
tually every high school in the district.
The choreography for the production is under
the direction of Fran Fredericks, well-known
Joliet dance instructor,
The musical is being directed by Rosaline Stone
and Robert Mailary, sponsors of the JJC
Players.
According to Ms. Stone, the musical is an ex-
cellent showcase for the many talents of the
students. "Those who have seen 'Cabaret' know
that it involves the whole gamut of acting
abilities from comedy to pathos as well as exten-
sive musical presentation," Ms. Stone said, "We
believe that our students combine an acme of
talents in the production."
She recommended that seats be reserved well in
advance to assure admission to the production.
Admission is free to anyone with JJC I.D. cards.
Other students will be admitted for a $1.00 dona-
tion upon presentation of student I.D.'s and
others will donate $2.00.

Existence is a slight-winged
heavy B that bumbles along,
ignorant of the impossibility of
its flight.
Its unseen shapes only Become
visible and moving to us when
they are splashed by bright light
wavicles of C.
We could not See without, but
some watch nothing except the
window to all this, an organic
camera I.
The Eye has given us a universe
to view. Yet would you fit your
infinite debt to senses into
this tiny O?
Then your jealous much-Owed
tongue may well ask, "Do you
care a P for me, or can you
cook at all?"
Yes, taste the Peas! Now grasp my
Q and know the upshot of this —
Unappreciated as one sense may be,
they also R.
Are you willing to take some
T with every one, or abstain
completely from each party's
toast awhile?
Reject their Tea, and learn
what separates U from your
homonyms, archaic bowing shrubs and
sheep ruled by their sex.
Read no road signs. Instead, thirstily
push on, not caring how many
add up to a Y, or mark the
fork for You.
On the way to Why, you will
lose seven friends before
a time comes when you finally
have 1.
Your blistered feet will detract
seventy-eight miles until you have
Won, arriving at 2.
By then your lips, burnt from
voting down three times two thousand
poison oases, can only rasp this To
show at last you voted 4:
"I 8 not For days.
I 80 not in the desert.
But, tempted by your vastness
I 8000 at last,
I Ate Thou Sand at last."

Natural History in Chicago. The
College of St. Francis sponsored
a bus ride to the museum so area
residents could view a presenta-
tion on "The Aesthetic Experi-
ence". The presentation included
all forms of black art from dancing
to painting. Cost of this trip was 75
cents per person.

Joliet J. C. Students
Attend N.Y. Conference
Three Joliet Junior College stu-
dents, Carol Anderson, Paul Rit-
tof and Joanne Hollister, attended
a New York conference on the
weekend of November 9, 10 and 11.
The conference, entitled ' 'The Col-
loquium on the student role in
collective bargaining." Sponsor-
ed by the student senate of the City
University of New York (CUNY),
it included workshops and speeches
by students as well as lawyers, on
the legality and morality of stu-
dents being seated as a third par-
ty at contract negotiations between
faculty, and the Board of Trustees
*and administration.
Such a student is already a third
party negotiator at Fitchburg Col-
lege in Massachusetts. CUNY
has also had a student representa-
tive at the negotiating table. The
negotiating student plays a role
similar to that that the student
board rep here will play; except
JJC's student will not be present
at the time of negotiations. Both
play a representative student role,
however.
There were approximately 80
people present; ranging from un-
"dergraduate students, to graduate
students, to people working on
their PhD.'s. There were law-
yers, students, SGA sponsors.
Board negotiators and school ad-
ministrators. The wide variance
In personalities led to interesting
sessions all around.
Tapes of the conference, infor-
mation provided by CUNY, and a
written report by the three attend-
ing students will be available for
students who are interested in Mr.
Pillard's , office in Waubonsee
Building.
JJC evaluated
"... highly
commended''
A recent evaluation by a team
from the State Division of Voca-
tional and Technical Education
stated that "Joliet Junior College
is to be commended for many of
their program components which
can be classified as exemplary."
The team, consisting of educa-
tors and businessmen from various
colleges, high schools, businesses,
and industries throughout Illinois,
spent several days studying \he
vocatlona-technical programs at
JJC. They particularly praised
the "dedication of staff members
of their programs and students,
and the many efforts expended by
staff members on behalf of the
college and Its service population
without regard to reimbursement
Or personal gain." They also
lauded what they called "the depth
of understanding of occupational
programs exhibited by the admin-
istrative staff."
The team recommended that the
school Improve services for and
communications with part-time
and evening students. A particu-
lar recommendation was that pro-
grams be provided so that a part-
time student could obtain all re-
quirements for a degree by taking
only evening classes.
Another recommendation was
that greater emphasis be placed
on specific program articulation
with area high schools.
The team concluded that "the
programs offered are meeting
community needs and are provid-
ing students with skills needed
for employment. The district
is to be highly commended for
this commitment to quality occupa-
tional programs, and is deserv-
ing of the support given by the
community, business and Industry,
and students."
Legislators Visit Campus
On Friday, October 26, Joliet
Junior College held "Legislative
Appreciation Day" here on cam-
pus.
A reception for students and leg-
islators was held in the A-Building

Mellecker, Administrative assist-
ant to Representative Blair, Rep.

meister, Rep. Kempiners and Rep.
Hill, and Rep. Beaupre, all of Ill-
inois. Legislators talked on many
subjects predominate in the news
today, from the regional transit
authority to the Arab-Israeli War.
Approximately 100 students on
campus that day ventured in to ask
questions of the legislators. All
the Senators and Representative.*
attended a luncheon hereon camous
from 12:00 to 1:30 P.M., also
attended by the Board of Trustees,
college Administrators, and Carol
Anderson, Student Government
Associating Acting President. Af-
ter lunch, some of the senators
and representatives took a tour
of the campus; the others flew
back to either their Springfield
or Washington offices.
Veteran's Party
deemed "Successful"
By CAROL ANDERSON
On Monday, February 11. the
JJC Veteran's Club held its third
party of this year. The 18th
Amendment, a nightclub in
Shorweood, was the place for the
event which featured Ziggy and
the Zeu Revue, a nostalgic-style
'50's band.
According to John Thorsen,
Executive Vice-President of the
club, the party was a success.
Approximately 380 people at-
tended the party, the proceeds of
which will go toward a scholarship
fund set up for Veterans. "The
reason we set up this scholarship
fund is to help the veterans
coming back to school," Thorsen
said.
Three parties have been held
this year by the Vet's Club.
Besides the Valentine's Party,
celebrations were held at Hallo-
ween and Christmas times of last
semester. They were also de-
scribed as successful.
The Veteran's Club membership
is open to all, veterans and
non-veterans. "We could have
more activities if we had more
people," stated Thorsen. The
officers for this semester are Curt
Halterman, president; John Thor-
sen, Executive Vice-president;
Rick Turk, Public Relations
Vice-president; Jim Marencni,
Communications Vice-president;
Phil Shoemaker, Treasurer and
Linda Spray, secretary. Pat Asher
is the organization's sponsor.
Junior college studer
streak through D-Mal
BY JOHN WHITESIDE
Herald-News Writer
Flesh flashes Friday flew
through the foyers of JJC's D-
Mall.
The cheerers cheered. The
applauders applauded. The
whistlers whistled. And kids
were kids as the streakers
streaked.
The first streaking incident
was reported shortly after 9
a.m. After lunch, more orga-
nized efforts took place.
Wearing ski-masks, neck ties,
red sox and blue shoes two
morning streakers raced
through D-Mall to an awaiting
get-away car in the visitors
parking lot.
One said it was "pretty
cold" and it was the quickest
dash he ever made.
Shortly after 1 p.m. organized
streaking started.
First was a coed team holding
hands. He wore his shoes and a
ski mask. She wore a red plastic
sack over her head and an
opened white shirt.
The crowd of several hundred
students gathered inside D-
Mall's corridors went wild.
Observer Robin Davis, 24, a
Vietnam veteran, tried to ex-
plain what the rationale was
behind the event.
"It's against the formalities
imposed by our society," he
said. "It's saying we are not
going to respect the taboos in
our Western culture.
"Nudity is nothing in Asia.
Here it's a big deal. There must
be something wrong with us. We
need an individualized identi-
fication."
Campus newspaper editor
Joey Woodhead, 20, differed.
"They are not rebelling
against anything," she laughed.
"It's just a fad. A welcome to
spring. It's no different than
swallowing goldfish, flagpole
sitting or crowding into a tele-
phone booth."
Miss Woodhead couldn't re-
call seeing such a crowd in D-
Mall.
"I've never seen so much
spirit at this college," she said,
adding that she hoped it was
helping the blood drive that was
going on at the same time.
Shortly after those words, two
boys wearing nothing but one
pair of wire-rimmed glasses
made their dash to fame. And
then eight boys wearing not
even glasses trotted through.
They made only one stop.
And that was to remove their
jock-straps at the entrance of D-
Mall.
Why did they streak?
A 20-year-old, talking in wind-
ed gasps but now wearing his
blue-jeans: "I don't know. It
was on impulse. Someone called
me chicken. I might do it
again."
A 19-year old streaker
added: "Just for fun. I'll prob-
ably do it again Monday."
And a girl, after removing the
red plastic sack to reveal dark
hair and freckles summed it all :
"Life is boring. This was an
adventure. It was all for kicks."
Joliet Junior College commu-
nity relations director Doris
Slocum, who watched the coed
team while donating a pint of
blood, commented that a blood
donation day had to be post-
poned two weeks ago due to lack
of interest on the campus. The
school regularly provides blood
needed by 12-year-old Randy
Hoffman of Joliet, a hemophilia
victim.
"We decided to give a de-
monstration Friday to show
how painless it was, but nobody
came around, said Mrs. Slo-
cum. "Then all of a sudden
streakers started coming from
everywhere.
"Soon there was quite a
crowd and we got down to
business. Twelve persons gave
one pint of blood each and 40
others made pledges."
The blood drive for Randy
needs 300 pints a vear.

Pillard's Men
fiOth Nationally
A pre-season survey of NJCAA
wrestling coaches has placed
Joiiet Junior College's matmen
in a tie for tenth place national-
ly in early season thinking. The
JJC team is the only Illinois
team to make the top ratings,
although Forest Park Com-
munity College, Harper
College, Lakeland Community
College, and Triton were men-
tioned for national ranking.
The survey indicates that
defending 1973 champion North
Iowa Area Community College
is figured to make a strong bid
to repeat, with Farmingdale
Agricultural and Technical
College of Farmingdale, New
York figured to made another
strong showing.
According to Coach Henry
Pillard, this year's Joiiet
Junior College wrestlers in-
clude some fine men who "may
very well make a name for
themselves and for the team on
a national basis."
Nationals this year will be held
at Worthington, Minnesota,
February 28 through March 4.
Joiiet will be represented by
seven men. Matt Boyle (118),
Bill Hayes (150), Joe Tomola
(158), Brad Day (167) (not pic-
tured), Steve Brandt (177),
Randy Dockstader (190) and
Heavyweight Mike Kettman.
To qualify for this tenacious
tournament our Wolves had to
place either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in
their respective weight classes
at the State Regional held at
Blackhawk College. We had no
champions but did finish with
six second place finishers and
one third place finish. The
team totals at Regionals were
Blackhawk 117 points, Harper
I09l/z points, and J.J.C. 107V2
points. It's surprising we did as
well as we did. Mr. Allen, assis-
tant coach commented that the
tourney was dominated by
82 sophomores. Our team is
basically freshmen and this
has too add optimism to our
coaches.
It should also be noted that we
ended the Dual-team season
ranked 5th in the nation.
A review of the season in-
dicated many highlights. At 118
Matt Boyle finished the season
with 19 wins and 1 loss and has
qualified for national after
taking second in the state
regional.
Eugene White at 126 was very
impressive all year, taking se-
cond at the University of
Illinois Invitational and was
M.V.P. at the Madison Tech In-
vitational. Eugene did not
qualify for the nationals
because he did not make
weight for Regional competi-
tion. He is a fine wrestler and
will undoubtedly be a strong
contender next year.
Bill Hayes at 150 has had an up
and down year, but still
managed to qualify for the
nationals by taking second in
the regionals.
At 158 Joe Tomola has been
very strong and consistent. He
also will be headed to
Nationals after taking a second
at regional. Brad Day (not pic-
tured) at 167 was champion at
Richland Invitational and will
also represent Joiiet at the
Nationals. Steve Brandt, now
wrestling at 177 placed second
at the regionals and will be a
strong contender at the
Nationals. All year Steve
wrestled at 190 and was cham-
pion at Richland and at U. of
Wis. (Madison). Steve has lost
only once all year in dual
meets.
At 190 Randy Dockstader has
given a fine showing for not
having wrestled all year. He
has qualified for nationals with
a third place finish at
Regionals.
Our H.V.T. Mike Kettman was
champion at U. of Wisconsin
(Madison) and took a second at
Madison Tech. He has been
very impressive and has
gained birth at nationals hav-
ing taken second at Regionals.
Hockey Season
Comes to am End
By BURTON B. COLLINS
"It's mot whether you win op lose, It's how you
play the game." According to Robert Cot-
timgham, coach o£ the J.J.C. hockey team, our
Wolves" came along way since October, they
played good hockey throughout the year, and
deserved a better fate;" the £ate Coach Cot-
tingham speaks of being a 1-15-1 worn-Host
record.
In the last two games o£ the season, against 111.
State, and Harper, the Wolves played .500
hockey. In the contest with Harper the Wolves
trailed 4-0 midway through the second period,
when they rallied with 2 goals by Dennis House
and a single tally by Mike Kinder. However,
they fell short o£ victory loosing 4-3.
Against 111. State, the last game of the season,
the Wolves led all the way after a first period
goal by John Remegi, In the second period Dave
Knutson scored two goals and Steve Allen
added one as the Wolves held onto a 4-3 lead.
Allen tallied again in the third period, his se-
cond goal of the year, and goalie Paul Jawarski
turned in 20 minutes of shutout hockey, as the
Wolves won 5-3.
According to Coach Cottingham "Next year
looks very promising, as 12 out of this years 17
man squad will be returning."

Football Report
By JIM LOUKAS
On October 10 our Wolves ended their season on a sour note.
The final score was 30-15. Coach Yost expressed that finally
his team had played a bad game. There was no explanation
but that the incentive was not totally there. Coach Yost stated
that his squad looked second-class on the field. The old
cliche, United we stand - divided we fall couldn't have been
more true. The team not only was fighting Harper but also
among themselves. Football is a very emotional sport and
one never knows what will happen next.
Yost stated that excluding the game against Harper he could
not have been any prouder. "This was the most cooperative
and classiest team I have ever coached," so said Coach Yost.
He also stressed that they are a great group of young men
from the standpoint of individual personalities.
Even with the loss the Wolves still ranked No. 2 in the state
with a 6-2 record and 17th or 18th nationally.

"moderate success"
enjoyed by 73-74
basketball team
by paul riley
sports editor
"moderate success" that is how coach don
tune summed up this year's basketball team.
establishing themselves with a 15 win 14 loss
record tune gave what he thought to be the
reasons for only this "moderate success".
1. eligibility problems: pete catchings and
Charlie jones were declared ineligible about
half way through the season and thus we
were without those 2 important men for about
half of our games, tune said catchings was the
big man we needed so desperately to be a top
notch winner.
2. injuries: key personal were injured at
critical times, bob herrod was lost for more
than a month and missed some 7 games, tune
said even at the end of the season herrod was
not at full capacity, forrest harris also mis-
sed 4 games at critical times, both men
sustained ankle injuries.
3. the schedule this year according to coach
was probably as strong as joliet has ever
played, he stated the n4c conference in his
opinion is the strongest junior college con-
ference as there is to be found in the entire
state of illinois.
next year . . . well tune is hopeful with the
return of gary rauch and bob herrod. these
two have been recognized throughout the
area as good, well rounded ball players.
